LANCERS'
ROUND TAJBLE
Vol. VIII No. 1
RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA
October, 1967
BOARD APPROVES
PROCEEDING WITH
CONSTRUCTION
by Loyed R. Simmons, President
Although our financial resources
in hand are about $40,000 short, our
College Board in a called meeting
voted to proceed with construction
of a gymnasium and two residence
halls, one for men and one for women.
It was thought, in view of total
size of the project, (approximately
$1,380,000) that the shortage is too
small to be allowed to hold up construction of these basic and badly
needed buildings at California Baptist College.
This need has been underscored
by a fall enrollment of 623, an all
time record for any semester in the
college's 18-year history. Waiting
lists had to be set up in mid-August
for rooms for men and women, as well
as apartments for married students.
The college will attempt to raise
the $40,000 (lacking on total bids
for construction of the three buildings) through a carefully planned
fund-raising campaign. Those who
share with us an interest in providing
for the increasing growth of California
Baptist College are not only invited
but urged to contribute to this fund.
Memorial gifts could provide student lounges and apartments for the
counselors or other special areas in

FALL 1967 ENROLLMENT BREAKS RECORD

Arrangements are set for California Baptist College's Fellowship
Breakfast at the convention in Reno,
Nevada, according to P.N. Tilden,
director of public relations, who is
in charge. Holiday Inn is the setting at 7 a.m., November 9.
Tickets may be purchased at the
CBC booth at the convention headquarters or reservations may be made
in advance by writing direct to or
telephoning the Public Relations
Office at CBC. Cost of the breakfast
ticket is $2.00.
"Alumni, former students, parents
of present or former students and
others interested in California Baptist College are cordially invited to
share this period of fellowship,"
says President Loyed R. Simmons.
Another record is broken at California Baptist College!
This is student enrollment for
the fall semester which passed the
previous high total of 593, reached
in the fall of 1965, in the first week
of registration, according to Donald
Hokett, acting director of admissions.
On Oct. 3 a total of 623 students
had registered with three days to go
before the close of the fall registration period.
In the fall of 1965 some 593 registered, topping the 1964 figure of
545. But in 1966, California Baptist
suffered the same fate of most colleges of comparable size in the
United States, a loss in enrollment.
With an enrollment of 540 the college
had a drop of almost 9 per cent.
Before 1967 registration began,
estimates of the increase ranged
from 6 to 10 per cent, with a total
of 600 students being considered a
bit excessive. Such optimism went
contrary to figures compiled from
several polls, which indicated that
only large state universities would
show increases.
The upward trend began in the
spring of 1967 when figures showed
a total of 537, only three short of
the fall enrollment, which is considered most unusual in college enrollment figures. Throughout the
United States, college spring enrollments normally drop from 20 to 30
per cent from fall figures.
